The best restaurants in Kildare

14/02/2026: Ridiculous carry on, I was constantly calling and asking for updates on my order, they kept brushing me off on the phone, the order was 1 hour late at this point so 1hr 30 mins overall. They ended up cancelling the order instead of trying to compensate for the order being late. Horrible customer service and I urge everyone to stay away from this unprofessional business..

05/01/2026: First time getting a take away from here and it was absolutely delicious.

07/12/2025: Indian food is absolutely lovely, the butter chicken is out of this world! The delivery driver who dropped the food was also extremely kind.

05/10/2025: Got a kebab and a pizza. All the food was cold on collection, kebab had little veg and zero taster, doner meat was near raw. I would not eat here again.

06/08/2025: We arrived at the gates of this restaurant today 6th Aug to find the gates locked and 2 other cars there as well. The sign said Open but there was no answer when we rang it. V poor indeed. Should have sign saying closed, Also website should say closed! Went to pub called Cookes in Canagh on Athy Rd and had a delicious lunch!

13/07/2025: I was in the restaurant on Saturday 12th July with friends all was great until the waitresses left around 1.30 we were getting served by a lovely young lady but then the girls disappeared and only two men left .restaurant got busy and not enough waitress|waiters on ..food was amazing but need more staff

09/07/2025: Really nice pub, good look and feel about the place. Friendly helpful staff and the beer is really good, great pint when in the area.

24/05/2025: Plenty of friendly staff in a busy eatery. Hot food ought to be on a hot plate, my chips were cold and my hamburger overdone and the dearest price I have ever paid for a burger in Europe. Onions rings lovely. But overall impression, not interested, just dish it out. Had I been on my own I would have walked out.

06/08/2026: Cannot cannot recommend this place enough coffee is super 👌 scones are fabulous and the price 😀 lol he not charging enough . Go get yourself a coffee ☕️ and cake and relax.

24/04/2026: Go and see for yourself 5 star every time

06/05/2026: Average Not many options for treats Cookies and pastries are not home baked Was expecting more from it. Good for just coffee

16/04/2026: Disgusting food. Didn't even chance eating it as i could have made us sick. The chicken didnt even look like chicken...weird, nearly translucent, stringy texture that you could stretch out like elastic. Put it all straight in the bin.

20/02/2026: The only Chinese that we trust to do gluten free sweet and sour!

26/06/2026: All good. Can't complain. Food tasty. Service friendly.

15/07/2025: Extremely Disappointing Second Visit – Serious Food and Service Concerns We’ve just come home from our second visit to Korean Royal City in Maynooth. Our first experience was great – the food was fresh, the service was warm, and everything ran smoothly, which is why we were happy to return. Unfortunately, tonight was the complete opposite and has left us deeply disappointed and genuinely concerned. One of the main dishes – my partner’s chicken – was absolutely not fit for consumption. It was clearly not fresh, tasted off, and was extremely dry. When the waitress asked how everything was, I politely and quietly said one of the meals was not good — the chicken wasn’t fresh and tasted off. I made a point of saying this discreetly, as another diner had just arrived at the table beside us. Instead of reading the room and handling it professionally, she continued to dispute it openly, making the other diners visibly uncomfortable as they ate. It was embarrassing and entirely avoidable. When it came time to pay, we explained again that we wouldn’t be paying for the inedible dish. She offered 10% off the item — about €1 — which felt dismissive given the seriousness of serving potentially spoiled chicken. I explained this wasn’t acceptable and that the dish needed to be removed from the bill entirely. She refused, would not call a manager, and said the chef refused to come out. She then claimed her boss was away for a month having surgery and there was no manager on duty — effectively, no one in charge. In the end, she would only take half the dish off, and we were forced to pay €72.50. She insisted she didn’t have the authority to do more. Other issues that added to the experience: We had to ask for basic things like napkins and glasses. There was no lighting in the bathrooms. No music, no ambiance at all. Card payment wasn’t available due to “no WiFi,” and we were told we had to pay cash — something we found highly suspicious. The most worrying part is that we now sincerely hope we don’t become unwell after tasting that chicken. We rarely complain and always try to be fair — our first visit here was lovely, and that’s why we came back. But this experience was unprofessional, uncomfortable, and potentially unsafe. We’ll be contacting the Food Safety Authority and awaiting a call from the manager or owner.
